[ He nods against her neck and simply holds her. Easiest decision by far. The thought occurs to him that he should be worried by how much she means to him in such little time, but she's been there for him longer than anyone has since he left with the Ravagers, has done more for him in this short time than anyone has since he left home. ]
Yeah. [ Still distant and small, still can't trust his voice to anything louder than that. ] I-- please--
[ He thinks, Please don't leave. The words won't come.
He shouldn't need her so badly, but there it is. And he pushes those doubts aside, because there are bigger things to worry about, and he's scared, because there are a few blank minutes in his life where he was apparently Something Else. Something that could do things that Maya, a Siren, had only heard of in stories.
He has his mother's pendant keeping the Something Else at bay for now, and now he's lost it twice -- once out of carelessness, once out of ignorance. What happens if it's lost again?
He needs to think rationally, needs to hash out a plan of attack in case this happens again. But he doesn't know what he's capable of or what damage he can do. ]
I can't remember any of it. I don't know what I did.
